well, yes and no. I am bound to use GTK 2.4.
I was hoping for a pointer at some sample code (even inefficient).

I also am wondering if someone fidled this based on callbacks via  
gtk_tree_view_column_set_cell_data_func() ? IIUC, this would
be the other way around: have the path (and therefore context to tooltip)
and need to get position to raise tooltip. Wrong?
